D2.3: IT Services Catalogue: organised, curated and documented collection of any and all IT services supporting the user services operated on the RESILIENCE platform.”The IT Services Catalogue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the core technical services that form the backbone of the RESILIENCE Research Infrastructure (RI) in religious studies. These IT services are essential for enabling the delivery of user services to the scientific community, ensuring the performance, scalability, and robustness required to support large-scale, data-intensive research. They are critical for facilitating collaboration, data sharing, and computational activities among researchers in the field.Aligned with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative, these services offer researchers advanced tools while ensuring compliance with key principles such as Open Science, FAIR data principles, and GDPR. The catalogue details each service's functionality and its role in supporting the research lifecycle, meeting the technological needs of modern interdisciplinary research within religious studies.This document presents services that are proven in real-world research environments, providing scalable solutions that align with the maturity and robustness required by large-scale infrastructures like RESILIENCE.For clarity, the catalogue distinguishes between concrete operational services (see Section 3) available to RESILIENCE users, services accessed through trusted external providers, and supporting standards, guidelines, or implementation practices (see Section 4) that enable integration, security, and future service evolution. In this context, RESILIENCE does not aim to duplicate generic IT services that are already mature and widely available through established e-infrastructure providers, but rather to make use of existing resources where possible and integrate them into the broader RESILIENCE service environment.Where an item is a planned capability for a later implementation phase rather than an operational service, this is stated explicitly in section 3.1. This applies in particular to internal enabling capabilities and to governance, security, or interoperability frameworks that may support future RESILIENCE service delivery, but which are not yet intended to function as operational end-user services.This Deliverable "D2.3 IT Services Catalogue" is a strategic mapping and planning document that identifies the external IT services on which RESILIENCE can rely and outlines the technical and governance conditions required for future coordinated implementation of enabling IT capabilities. This catalogue is pivotal for documenting, analysing, and planning the IT services that will support the project's User Services in the field of religious studies research. Note that we do not claim that all headquarters-level IT capabilities described in it will be operational in the near term. Where mature third-party services already exist, RESILIENCE can map and rely on them already during the current preparatory trajectory. By contrast, internal enabling capabilities, governance mechanisms, and supporting policy frameworks are mainly design and planning elements for later implementation phases.Accordingly, this document combines:i. a mapping of external IT services that can support RESILIENCE user services; andii. an outline of the standards, requirements, and internal capabilities that would be needed for future coordinated implementation and operation.
